2003-2009 XJ8's with all-aluminium chassis/body (and - to be fair - far more complex 'tronics...) are out there at around 10 -12K, USD (just bought one).
There ARE NO 'ugly' Jaguars, nor any so slow over-the-ground that you cannot break yer neck or land in jail.
Some are just a tad nicer ... or more assertive ... than others...

Especially look at the info there on:
1. tensioners (early plastic)
2. cooling system (water pump / thermostat)
3. transmission ('sealed for life' / fluid change)
